Default o2 sensor question

i spliced the wires from the 02 sensors that went after my non-existing cats (that now have o2 simulators in them) with the ones befor the cats so they would reach with my slp longtubes from the conector to the header. the first time i wrapped them two of the wires werent individualy wraped causing them to hit each other. so
1. did i ruin the o2 sensor
2. is this how everyone else made there o2 sensors stretch to fit
3. is this why im having air fuel issues.
any input would be much appreciated
thanks

It is best not to cut and splice O2 sensor wires. Most people buy O2 extensions.

I spliced and extended mine without incident. Are you saying you touched a couple of wires while you were splicing and the car was off? Did you disconnect them from the car first? Explain your procedure in detail.

And what are your air / fuel issues. O2 sensors usually work or don't.

LOL. Is your SES light going off? Any codes set? Are you sure you re-wired them correctly? Worst case you just bought two new O2 sensors.

Don't drink and mod.
